Here are some suggestsions for features for a future version.
1) If you in timeshift liveTV, ability to press a button on remote and go back to non timeshift liveTV
(yes I know you could quit and go back, but I'm lazy)
2) a warning if you are running out of memory on the hard disk to which recordings are being stored
3) wiping out recorded timeshift LiveTV shows if memory is running out so a scheduled recording could have memory
4) The ability to schedule "watch" but not store, or at least not long term store. The channel will automatically change to the indicated show, e.g., every week. It could be recorded and stored for a short period, e.g., a specified number of hours, after which it would be deleted, or not even stored at all.
5) Ability to have second class recordings - They are in a pool, and if an allocated amount of space is exceeded, the oldest, or lowest priority indicated, recording is erased. If you want to keep one of these, you can select it and so indicate.
6) Ability to delete recordings from the library using the remote, like for recordings.
7) Ability to watch a show that has comskip files so that commercials are automatically skipped. When the frame counter matches a commercial frame a jump is made as of 0-skip was pressed. If comskip got it wrong user could still go back.
8) Info button should bring up a show's description
